2D Animator, New Project

Salary Competitive

It’s an exciting time to join Tactile. We're a diverse team of storytellers, puzzle enthusiasts and casual mobile game creators. Our story began in 2008 in the heart of beautiful Copenhagen, and since then we have experienced continuous growth, establishing ourselves as one of the largest gaming companies in Denmark. In more recent years, we have been scaling fast, in big part thanks to the success of a little game called Lily’s Garden. Now we’re on a mission to solidify our position as one of the leaders in creating out-of-the-ordinary casual puzzle games.

With more than 300 talented individuals, we are a mix of over 40 nationalities and 43% women. We truly appreciate the richness of different experiences and perspectives that Tactilers bring to the game. This is why we foster a lean organisational culture, in which each individual is encouraged to take responsibility, be open and grow in their own way. We pride ourselves in cultivating a studio environment that stays away from crunch, that fosters your skills no matter what your discipline is, and one that gives you a place to be creative alongside other passionate and invested storytellers.

🚀 Your role & impact:

We are currently growing our new game team and are on the search for a 2D Animator to join the team of talented artists, animators, designers and developers supporting the production of our newest game project.

This role is based in our beautiful Copenhagen office, as we truly believe that when talented people work closely together, amazing things happen! We therefore offer full relocation support to those coming from outside of Denmark.

Okay, let’s get a little bit more specific.

Here’s what you’ll be doing on the day-to-day as a 2D Animator:

Creating 2D in-game animations using Spine2D or Unity
Working closely with the engineering team for Unity implementations
Coming up with creative ideas and concepts for the animations
Working closely with the rest of the creative team to find better solutions to optimize animations for better performance
